The lack of 3-point shooting from the Philadelphia 76ers’ starting lineup is starting to earn a reputation. Along with their own struggles, Golden State Warriors star Stephen Curry’s electric start to the season has provided an eye-popping comparison.

The Athletic’s Mike O’Connor pointed out that Curry’s 48 made 3-pointers through eight games trails the Sixers’ entire group of starters by just one.

Through eight games, Steph Curry (48) has made one fewer three than the Sixers' entire starting lineup combined (49).

Both sides of this stat incite interest. Curry appears to be on pace to contend for his third MVP award, while the Sixers’ normally reliable shooters have gotten off to a slow start.

Outside of the well-documented struggles from Ben Simmons and Markelle Fultz, we’ve seen Joel Embiid and Dario Saric get off to rocky starts. Both starting big men are shooting below 30 percent on their 3-point attempts through eight games.

Overall, Philly’s 3-point shooting is rescued by its potent reserve unit. As a team, the Sixers are tied for the fourth-most 3-point field goals made, largely fueled by JJ Redick’s 30, good for third-most by a single player in the NBA.
